Supported devices

Fluke 54200

The generator covers nearly all world-wide standards including PAL, NTSC, and SECAM with their subsystems as well as sound standards and data transmission standards. Teletext and Wide Screen Signaling bits are available (Figure 1).

Rohde & Schwarz SFU

The R&S®SFU is the all-in-one solution for broadcast and mobile TV standards. It has been designed as a platform for various applications and is open for future options. It provides multiple instrument functionality in a cabinet of only four height units and offers unrivaled RF and baseband characteristics. Due to its modular design, the R&S®SFU can be optimally adapted to the requirements of different applications. It is an ideal research and development tool for making improvements to introduced standards and for generating new standard signals. Applications that previously required many different instruments are now fully covered by the R&S®SFU. The modern, intuitive concept of the R&S®SFU ensures fast and easy operation (Figure 4).

Promax GV698+

The GV-698+ is a TV pattern generator with excellent price/performance ratio which is especially suitable for service of all kinds of TV receivers. This pattern generator has the features usually found only in professional units, such the NICAM sound or teletext, while keeping a very attractive price tag. It is also possible to turn ON or OFF the color burst, the sound Subcarrier, the Color Subcarrier, etc. The GV-698+ also has a DSB modulated RF output, with level adjustable in 10 dB steps (Figure 10).

LeCroy 9109

The LeCroy 9100 series of Arbitrary Function Generators are high performance ATE or benchtop instruments which can generate either standard or user defined, complex waveforms with fine point to point time resolution (Figure 11).

Dolby DP564

The DP564 provides easy selection and monitoring of Dolby Digital’s unique downmixing capabilities, listening modes, and compression modes. This gives content producers and providers an accurate way to verify how material originally produced and transmitted in 5.1 will sound when played back through Dolby Pro Logic or Pro Logic II, two-channel stereo, or mono home systems. Built-in Dolby Headphone processing, with a dedicated volume control, allows monitoring surround sound over standard headphones. The DP564 provides a comprehensive set of functions such as test noise, speaker trims and delays, bass redirection, mutes, and solos for the configuration and control of multichannel monitoring environments.

SPI Analyzer

Implements SPI capturing device which collects all data frames and stores it in appropriate data file. This data can be compared with default data collection which is specified inside device initialization file. Result of comparison can be presented to user using specified device commands (Figure 14).

Audio Device

RT-AV030

RT-AV030 (Figure 16) is Audio/Video Grabber for interception of signals between TV motherboard and LCD panel. Device supports LVDS and analog stereo audio as inputs and it is connected to the computer via USB 2.0.

RT-AV300

RT-AV300 (Figure 17) device intended for consumer devices testing: iDTV, STB, DVD and Blu-Ray. RT-AV300 can be in the same time used as an Audio/Video signal generator and real-time SD/HD video signal capture device. RT-AV300 provides extended features which can be used in all stages of multimedia product verification and test process.

RT-AV100

RT-AV100/101 is a device for real-time capturing of audio and video signals up to 1080p30 (1080i60) over 1Gbps LAN, as well as still picture grabbing up to 1080p60. The device is intended for head end monitoring as well as for STB/DVD/Blu-ray testing. RT-AV100 (NAViC – Network Attached Video Capture) is a single channel and RT-AV101(Dual NAViC) dual channel device with doubled outputs compared to RT-AV100 (Figure 18).

Video SD Device

RT-IR001

RT-IR001 is a control device for reception and transmission of infrared remote commands. Developed for usage in automated test systems (ATS) RT-IR001 finds its application in R&D and QA departments, service centers and on production lines.
